“Don’t Touch My Hair” Opens at Hannah Traore Gallery

Ever the downtowner’s destination for thought-provoking art, Hannah Traore recently celebrated the opening of her eponymous gallery’s latest show: “Don’t Touch My Hair,” on June 6. The exhibition’s opening brought together the 18 featured artists—including Anya Paintsil, Camila Falquez, Hiba Schahbaz and Wangechi Mutu)—along with friends and family of the gallerist, who took inspiration from her 2022 Artsy spotlight and accompanying essay in curating the show. Visitors sipped on wines from IBest while perusing the show and congratulating Traore on the opening. Notables in attendance included Andy Jackson, Bernard James, Camila Falquez, Cynthia Edorh, Desmond Jamon, Diallo Simon-Ponte, Jasmine Wahi, Jon Gray, Kevin Claiborne and Quiana Parks.
